FrontAir Congress

My friend and I stayed here the night before we left Barcelona since we had an early morning flight to catch and this place had both a (free!) airport shuttle and was close to the airport. I really loved the price of this place, the shuttle, the shuttle into Barcelona (it was only a couple Euro and dropped you off a a pretty decent spot), and the fact that it’s right next to a giant grocery store (in case you need some in-​room wine).
Things I did NOT like were that it was far from anything in Barcelona (again, our intention, but I wouldn’t stay here for an entire trip), that the bathroom doors were SEE THROUGH GLASS (no, I am not making that up), and that they wouldn’t let us use the pool because our cheaper rate didn’t include that ‘extra’ (I’ve never heard of a hotel allowing use of pools to people in certain rooms only).

Hotel dass in einem Industriegebiet ausserhalb von Barcelona gelegen ist. Ich war übers Wochenende dort also störte mich das nicht. Das Hotel bietet einen kostenlosen Airport Transfer und einen Transfer in die Innenstadt an. Check-​In verlief schnell. Das Zimmer war angenehm groß und sauber. WIFI ist kostenlos allerdings ist es sehr langsam. Es ist ein großer Supermarkt direkt neben dem Hotel. Wer Durst oder Hunger hat kann sich dort also eindecken. Das einzig Negative war der Gestank der Abends über dem Gebiet lag. Roch als ob jemand ein Güllesilo geöffnet hatte. Sehr unangenehm also sollte das Fenster geschlossen bleiben. Da eine Klimaanlage im Zimmer vorhanden ist sollte dies aber kein Problem darstellen. Gut für einen Wochenendtrip oder eben für einen längeren Aufenthalt (Shuttle in die Innenstadt für 3 € ist nicht gerade teuer!)

Always when I travel, since im from the Island Mallorca we have to do an overlay on the Mainland. we Always plan our trips the way that we stop at this hotel to stay 1 or 2 nights. its close to the el prat airport. a free shuttle bus every half hour from the airport to the hotel and from the hotel back… its a very quiet hotel, mostly its visited by busseniss people, and they do congresses in the hotel for lots of asian companies, so mostly the hotel has alot of asian people visiting. most people stay here for busseniss, for an overlay since its close to the airport, but also to spend their holidays and do a city trip. its located about 20 minutes driving from the capital of Barcelona. a free shuttle bus again each hour i believe goes to the city from the hotel and back so if you want to spend they day walking around Barcelona… personal is Always professional and friendly, untill now never had a problem and ive been here like 6 different times for about 12 nights in total now… also what i love is that they have a fitness center and spa… for 1 night 2 person with spa included you pay around (depending the period) 60 euros a night… thats about 75 dollars more or less… the hotel is 4 stars and build about 7 years ago more or less. so everything is clean and new still. very nice heated rooms if you go in the winter time… nice spacious bathrooms. only thing that i had a problem with one time and that couldnt be fixed was that i was without hot water the morning i had to go on my way to the usa and couldnt have a warm shower. so i had to do a cold shower and it was freezing outside. i called the front desk and they were trying to fix it because the entire hotel had this problem but it was too late for me… but besides that no problems. the food, i didnt dine in the hotel, only had some snacks and they were good. you have a chinese wok restaurant in the street where i Always go to, an all you can eat place, cheap and ok… and also mcdonalds and kfc is in front. also the hotel is connected with a shopping center with a very big supermarket where you can buy like fresh bread for breakfast etc. and also with clothes stores etc. so thats nice to spend some time at… also one thing id like to say, which can be an improvement to the hotel in my opinion, a mini bar… because i bought drinks for in the morning such as ice coffee. i Always come in the winter, so what we do, we put the drinks in a plastic back and hang it outside of our room window so the next morning we have cold drinks… but if we had a minibar, i would definitaly take that! the spa is a very nice place to relax, they have a sauna, turkish spa, fairly big pool with different watermassages and bubblebads, the water is nicely warm, and i love the hot stone beds, although sometimes they dont work… i will keep coming back here as we enjoy it very much to relax before and after our long trip. oh yes and free wifi!

In general the hotel is nice and clean and the price with the free shuttle service from and to the airport are very good organized. The breakfast buffet was ok, but not really special. Price 8 € is absolutely fine. We had a power cut the next day and they didn’t tell as at the beginning. Nevertheless the front desk is very polite and helpful if you talk to the right one. The gym is clean and good for a morning workout. I haven’t checked the spa, so I can’t comment on that.
